In my many conversations with leaders across our clients, alliance partners and competitors since launching Harbor in August 2023, I have been energized by how the legal ecosystem is embracing and adapting to change.
While some organizations may be further along the path of operational and digital transformation than others, what we see across the board is the willingness to modernize and imagine new ways of operating and working with technology.
Developments in AI and advanced technology, combined with increased demand for legal services in a fast-changing global environment, have triggered bigger picture discussions: How should corporate law departments and law firms use technology to adapt to the changing needs of their clients and stakeholders? In what ways can they automate business processes and create opportunities to deliver new value? How should they structure and develop teams with the skills to thrive in a more AI-enabled environment?
Wherever your organization fits in the legal ecosystem, making the changes needed to transform requires vision, strategy, and investment in both technology and talent.
That is why we are excited to share that we have entered into a new strategic partnership with BayPine, a private equity firm with deep expertise in partnering with market-leading organizations on digital transformation, as our lead investor.
At Harbor, we have always believed that world-class talent and an ambitious commitment to client service are the key to long-term success. That belief – combined with our deep understanding of and commitment to the legal industry – guided the creation and launch of Harbor. We prioritized the integration of our heritage organizations, and nearly two years on, we have come a long way. We are now able to deliver a unique value proposition as the preeminent end-to-end consulting and technology services partner to the legal sector, while expanding our global footprint.
Our partnership with BayPine gives us the ability to continue our work while meaningfully accelerating key areas of growth, such as AI and tech-enabled services, enabling us to partner more effectively with clients as they evolve their operations and to support their digital transformation. Their investment brings both increased capital and conviction – they believe in our mission, our unique position in the legal ecosystem, the talent and expertise we have assembled, and the innovations we have introduced to date.
We see a future in which all professional services are increasingly tech-enabled. For the legal sector, this means faster, more efficient, and more impactful outcomes. This shift is about more than just technology – it is about re-thinking how teams collaborate, how services are delivered, and how talent is developed, deployed, and scaled. These are complex challenges – and also incredible opportunities for both Harbor and our clients.
As we move forward, our commitment to progress, innovation, and partnership remains unchanged. We believe this is a pivotal moment for the legal industry – and we are ready to navigate alongside our clients and alliance partners to a more tech-enabled future.
Thank you to everyone who has supported, challenged, and inspired us during the first part of our journey as Harbor. I am proud of what we have created.
We are just getting started.
